Geonoma Atrovirens - "Holy grail of the palm trees"
Seeds were imported from Ecuador. Often hailed as the “holy grail of palm trees,” Geonoma atrovirens is a remarkable species with stiff, upright, narrow leaves that are mostly undivided except for split tips. The foliage ranges from dark green—some appearing almost black—to new shoots in shades of purple to brown. Native to the lowland and mountain rainforests of the western Amazon, including parts of Peru and Colombia, this extraordinary palm is rare in cultivation but highly sought after, thriving in tropical and some warm temperate regions. Seeds are shipped in humid vermiculite.
